Thank you to those who have already purchased Season Passes for Season 3 of the Étude Sessions. We know others are looking to purchase in the next week. We want to make sure that as you plan out your session attendance this season, you know that Season Passes are limited. Once the Phox show sells out (and it will sell out), we will stop selling Season Passes. Phox tickets as well as tickets for Hayward Williams and The Dave Stoler Quartet, go on sale on Friday, September 4th at 11:00 a.m.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. - The Étude Sessions with Paradigm Coffee and Music has announced season three of the concert series supporting The Étude Group schools: ESAA Elementary School for the Arts and Academics, The Mosaic School, and IDEAS Academy. Season three features Friday night performances and a season pass opportunity that includes all five performances.

Teacher by day and, by night, a band of pop and rock mixture… The Sugar Stems. Our very own Drew Fredrichsen, music department at IDEAS Academy and The Mosaic School, actually teaches what he preaches. Drew holds classes for both IDEAS and Mosaic students, teaching the music he loves. He has been opening the ears and hearts of his students to the realm of music and helping them break out of their shells.

On February 28, 2015, a band of indie and folk music, Mike Mangione and The Union[/etude-sessions/2014-2015-season/the-etude-sessions-presents-mike-mangione/] became one with Sheboygan, Wisconsin, as they performed at Étude Sessions[/etude-sessions/]. Mike Mangione and The Union gave a sensational performance that awed all.

The Étude Sessions represents a combination of a love for music along and a desire to ensure that programs that enrich student learning are avail able to all. Often we see those opportunities that can truly enrich a child's education available to those who can afford to pay. Additionally, we often see our more affluent schools being able to afford these enriching opportunities. When we started our schools in 2007, our founders made a commitment to ensuring our schools and all of its programming was available to all students, regardless of socio economic background.

We are excited to announce that Sheboygan's own The Belle Weather will be opening for the next Étude Sessions featuring Mike Mangione & the Union. The Belle Weather was formed in 2011 and released their first album in 2013 at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. The band is about to release their second album titled "Suitcase" on April 26th at Paradigm Coffee + Music. The Belle Weather describes themselves by saying:

This year NPR featured a competition for bands to win a spot on their Tiny Desk concerts. Tiny Desk Concerts are intimate video performances, recorded live at the desk of All Songs Considered host Bob Boilen. These concerts have recently featured Cat Stevens and Lucinda Williams.

Part of the purpose of our blog is to help introduce you to the performers coming through the Étude Sessions. I have commented in the past what extraordinary people our performers are, however, it's not every day that we are able to feature an article about an Étude Sessions performer from a business magazine, but then again, not every musician is Brianna Lane.
